After leaving North Korea, Wang Yu did not go to Tianjin, but went directly to Shanghai by boat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lord Wang, there is an urgent report from the north, the holy decree of the Son of Heaven has been sent to Tianjin, and I want you to withdraw your troops from Tianjin immediately." As soon as Wang Yu got off the boat, Fang Yizhi came up to report the situation to him.
Qi Bansun asked, "Lord Wang, should we withdraw our troops?" ”
The literati in Jiangnan actually didn't have much loyalty to Yongli, and they recognized King Lu even more. Of course, if Prince Chongzhen can come out, they still support Prince Chongzhen. For the Yongli Emperor in the north, they supported him on the surface, but they didn't take him seriously in their hearts.
Coming to the Wangye's Mansion in Yu Garden, Shanghai, everyone gathered in the hall. Seeing that there were all his own people around, Huang Zongxi directly proposed: "Lord Wang, when the people of Jiangnan rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, he went hunting in the south forever and abandoned the country and fled. If it weren't for the prince's efforts to turn the tide, how could there be the revival of today's Ming Dynasty! Now that the Qing court has been defeated, he Yongli didn't even dare to come to Ying Tianfu, and he didn't dare to go to worship his ancestors and ancestors, so he went directly to Beijing! Shandong and Tianjin were fought down by us, and he even asked the prince to withdraw his troops. Shandong, we can't let it out! ”
"Yongli is not qualified for the great tomorrow!" Yao Qisheng said, "It's better to make King Lilu the Son of Heaven!" ”
"No!" Wang Yuyou said, "This country and two kings will surely cause chaos in the world!" We can use excuses to resist the decree, but the time has not yet come to establish the Son of Heaven. Although the Tartars are no longer in the climate, the Mongols in the north have not really surrendered. Before the external troubles are eliminated, we will start the internal strife first, and we can only cheapen the foreign enemy in vain. ”
"As long as we find an excuse to drag it out, Yongli can't do anything to us. He can't send Tiqi to Jiangnan to get people, right? Qi Bansun said.
Send Jinyiwei to Jiangnan to get people? Borrowing 10,000 galleries from Yongli, he didn't dare to do it. Even if he really dared, I'm afraid no one would dare to carry out such a task. Even if Jinyiwei really came, could they still let them succeed?
Wang Yu shook his head and said, "It won't drag on for a few days, and this clan doesn't want to fall out with them yet." We can let the messenger go more slowly, and when we arrive in Tianjin, evacuate Tianjin and slowly withdraw from Shandong. ”
"Why did the prince give up Shandong?" The crowd was shocked.
Wang Yu replied: "We can drag it out for a while, drag it out for a few months, and slowly withdraw to Xuzhou." ”
When Huang Zongxi and the others left, leaving only Wang Yuyou and a group of cronies, Wang Yu said: "King Jin's illness has worsened, and now Wu Sangui plans to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes!" We can delay him for a few months and then offer him terms for negotiation. If he is obsessed, we don't need to start a war with them, as long as we cut off the Eight Banners special offerings! ”
The Eight Banners special offerings are not only Wu Sangui's main source of income, but also something that maintains Wu Sangui's life. Once Wu Sangui stopped smoking the Eight Banners Special Offerings, he wouldn't have long to live. Wu Sangui has been smoking this kind of thing for many years, and his addiction is very big, plus the special offering of the Eight Flags specially provided by Wang Yu for him contains medicinal materials, once he stops smoking, it won't take long, and Wu Sangui will be bedridden.
In short, now Wang Yu is temporarily dragging it out, and then let people negotiate secretly with Wu Sangui. As long as there is a need, let Wu Sangui fall. Once Wu Sangui fell, Wu Yingxiong was dead, Wu Yingqi's eyes were low, Wu Shifan was too young, and it was difficult to deal with his own internal fighting between him and Wu Yingqi.
Wu Sangui loves Wu Yingxiong the most, although Wu Yingxiong is dead, Wu Sangui still plans to pass the throne to Wu Shifan. And Wu Shifan's uncle Wu Yingqi will definitely not be convinced, as long as Wu Sangui dies, there will be a fight between uncle and nephew.
Early the next morning, as soon as Wang Yu got up, someone came to the house to report: "Qi Yu Dashuai, Shanghai Gun Factory has a new product, Dai Dashuai asked Dashuai to take a look." ”
"New products?" Wang Yu, who had just washed his face, couldn't even take care of eating, and was about to follow the man out of the palace.
"Xianggong, let's have breakfast first and then go!" Zheng Yun called out to Wang Yu.
Outside the male protagonist and inside the female protagonist, Zheng Yun is the hostess of the house, and when she is in the house on weekdays, Wang Yu has to listen to her. But today, Wang Yu disobeyed: "It's a new product made by Lord Dai, it must be a good thing!" The husband didn't eat, and it was too late to eat when he came back after watching first. ”
Zheng Yun looked at Wang Yu's departing back and shook her head helplessly: "I have been married for many years, and my husband has not been in the mansion for a few days. This has just come back, it's only been one night, and I'm going out again. ”
Wang Yu came to the riverside, crossed the Huangpu River by boat, and came to the Shanghai Gun Factory on the other side. When he was on the road, he had already guessed that there might be progress in the metal cartridge shell bullet developed by Dai Cang Dai Zi and his son, hoping that this was the case.
When I walked into the gun factory, I saw Xu Zhengming and Dai Zixing rushing up to greet him. Because Wang Yu regarded them as brothers, these two people were also relatively casual in front of Wang Yu, and they didn't have so much etiquette.
Xu Zhengming whispered in Wang Yu's ear: "Dashuai, the metal cartridge bullets we are engaged in have been made, and the matching rifles have also been developed. ”
Wang Yu walked into the gun test site of the gun factory, in the test field, Song Shiyi, Song Shihui, Dai Cang, Xue Fengzuo, Mei Wending and others have been waiting here for a long time, there are two brand-new guns on the table in the test site, the appearance of the two guns is very similar, it should be the same kind of products.
Looking at it from a distance, Wang Yu could see at a glance that the structure of this new rifle was completely different from the original rifle. Unable to contain the excitement in his heart, he walked over to the table and picked up his rifle.
I saw that the caliber of this rifle was about ten millimeters, and it no longer used the way of pressing down on the butt to expose the chamber to load the bullet, but reverted to the way Dai Cang and Dai Zi originally made to pull the bolt to expose the chamber. There is a cover plate above the chamber, and as soon as the bolt is pulled, the firing pin and spring are compressed back and stuck in the card slot. While pulling the bolt, a grappling hook in the chamber cover moves backwards, hooking the cartridge case and pulling out the chamber. After pulling the bolt, a bullet is inserted into the chamber of the gun, and the bolt is pushed forward to complete the loading.
The reason why the paper cartridge case rear loading rifled gun produced before was to load the bullet by pressing down the butt and exposing the chamber was because the straight-pull cover plate had not yet solved the problem of air leakage, so Dai Cang and Dai Zi father and son adopted a lever bolt, as long as the butt was pressed, the chamber was exposed to complete the loading, which was the same as the principle of the later shotgun. The airtightness of the lever bolt is much better than that of the straight-pull cover, and it is not easy to leak.
However, now the metal cartridge case is adopted, and the shell itself has airtightness, coupled with the improvement of parts processing technology, the connection between the cover plate and the magazine is tighter, and the problem of air leakage is solved.
Compared to lever bolts, the straight-pull cover is more reliable and automatically pulls out the cartridge case, reducing the hassle of reloading. If the lever-type bolt cannot pour out the bullet case, it is necessary to use a tool to dig out the bullet case.
